Cancer Foundation. They're going to be having their Impact Day
for Hope and Healing. Yes, and that's going to be
March twenty first. Yes, So how are you doing, Buffy?
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I am doing fantastic. And thank you again for always
letting me talk about what I'm doing in the community
on your platform.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
No, girl, come on now, don't make me start crying up.
You do.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I mean, anytime I call you, you're here for me.
And so I just got to tell you I so
appreciate you. This has been for years. So you know
you are my brother.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah, now you're my sister, and you're doing so many
great things and you have a story, and every time
you come on, I want to make sure people understand
why you do what you do right, because you you
were married, yes and still probably still spiritually you know married,
you know what I mean. But there was a tragedy. Yes,
(01:07):
it happened to your husband, yes, right, so you want
to talk about that.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
The Duane Dylan Colon Cancer Foundation was founded twelve years
ago in honor of my late husband Dewan that passed
of colon cancer at thirty nine. And when Dwan basically
got a stomach ache one day that he couldn't shake.
We went to the emergency room. They gave him something
to move his bowels and that was weird because he's
(01:32):
never had that problem. Four days later, four to six
days later, the pain comes back with a vengeance. He
can't shake it. So with that we go back to
the emergency room. They decide they're going to keep them
and shout out to the VA because they did a
great job. Never go by what people tell you. Sometimes
you have to experience it. Because I was telling my husband,
we ain't going down there, you know, but they volunteer
(01:54):
with us now and everything. But at any rate, we
go down. They tell him that they're going to keep
them this time, and they want to look a little
bit more intently. Levels are up and different things are
making them say, okay, this is serious. They end up
opening my husband up. He's already at stage four colon cancer.
It does not run in this family, so it's not genetics. Basically,
(02:16):
it had not been sick. This is a healthy man.
Basketball coach mentor in the community goes to the doctor,
so they give them six months to live, so our
lives go from A to Z just like that. He
survives nine months and we bring him home and we
treat him like the king that he deserved to be
treated as. And I promised them that what we started together,
(02:37):
which was a back to school bass because we owned
a couple of hairsalones and other businesses in Spanish Lakes,
so we had already been giving back together for three
years prior to this. And I tell them, the world's
never going to forget your name, and I'm going to
continue what we started. And that's how.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
We've been doing such an amazing job. I'm doing so
much community. Thank you, you know, with your give back,
your volunteering and everything that you're doing. So let's talk

be at.
